What it does

Vidalia lets a player customize visual and animation settings modeled on earlier eras of the game. Several of these options change how familiar elements look without touching the rules of play. Because the mod is client-side only, only the player's own game is affected.

The author also describes a way for a server to enable or disable features that enhance gameplay on that server. Installation requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) on Fabric, and Mod Menu is optional. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 – 26.3, and the latest file is 4.4.1 for 26.3, released 2026-09-18. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Nostalgic visual options

    Visual and animation styles modeled on earlier eras of the game can be turned on in the client settings.

  2. Configurable settings

    Options are exposed through YetAnotherConfigLib, letting players adjust each setting from a single screen.

  3. Optional menu entry

    Mod Menu can list Vidalia's settings screen alongside other installed mods when it is present.
